MLB 4/5

[Homer]

I added San Francisco and NY Mets late yesterday, but didn't post them here, so maybe they shouldn't count towards my record. Ahh, the hell with it, they count, since I'm basically talking to myself here anyway.

YTD 7-5 +2.48u

Today's picks...

Pittsburgh +1.5 -123 (I like this more than the +134 moneyline, because I think this will be a one run game quite often)

San Francisco +168

Milwaukee +185

Colorado +173

Texas +216

Cincinnati +156

Detroit +156

Baltimore +153

Tampa Bay +230 & Tampa Bay +1.5 +140 (1 full unit on each of these, so 2 units total on this game)

Houston's pounding SF right now 4-0...

[Homer]

My other picks are doing alright so far, though. Milwaukee is tied, Texas won (+216), Cincinnati is up 3-0, Detroit is up 6-3, Pittsburgh is down 3-2 (I went with +1.5 so they're covering right now) and my Tampa Bay picks split, so I made a few bucks there. Baltimore is down big, though, which sucks for me.

Reds +161

Pirates +154 & Pirates +1.5 -111 (1/2 unit each)

White Sox +221

Indians +147

Sorry Homer, I'm going against you on the Sox/Yankees. Watch out for Vasquez, he's going to have a great year.

I'm also against you with the Phillies/Pirates game.

Hopefully I won't look like an idiot. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

It's more likely that it will be the other way around. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Are the Yankees better than the White Sox? Probably. Is Vasquez better than Schonweis? Probably. Do the Yankees have a better chance of winning today? Probably. Will the Yankees win this matchup often enough at THIS price to be profitable over the long term? Probably not [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[Homer]

I didn't start out planning to post each day, and once I did it was too late to change the title of the thread. Next week I'll start a new thread with an appropriate title.

Detroit +107

- Detroit swept Toronto, and looked impressive in doing so.

- This is the home opener for Detroit, so they will be playing in front of a big crowd and will play an inspired game. The crowd will be into it because they won ~45 games last year and are 3-0 this year.

- Minnesota's bullpen pitched 21 innings against Cleveland, thanks to two extra-inning games and a blowout.

- Minnesota's starter, Carlos Silva, has only started one game in his career and has pitched ~85 innings in each of the last two seasons.

What do you think?
